What this page should prevent.
Label this as a protocol, not proof of effectiveness. Do not imply the trial has already shown results.
Geebs coaching takeaway
The study only matters if it changes a behavior.
This is not an outcome paper yet, but it shows the right practical question: can resistance exercise and protein protect muscle while GLP-1 weight loss happens?
Content angles
Safe ways to translate it.
The next GLP-1 question is muscle preservation
Protein and lifting are being formally tested
Do not wait for perfect evidence to protect basics
